[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1965650, member: 8873"] Guilty! A mechanical device is a good way to compare & get numbers, but in my opinion doesn't tell the whole story. It doesn't tell you what the concussion felt by shooter is like. Take an M107/M82 Barret .50BMG for instance. The recoil will get your attention but really isn't that bad. The concussion felt from behind the rifle due to gasses being forced at a hard angle back towards the shooter (or any innocent bystanders😁) is worse and is perceived as recoil, making the experience way less enjoyable. Hard to put a number on that. That is one thing felt by a shooter. Shooting is a good way to compare and see if a guy likes one brake over another, no different than a fella lining two scopes up and comparing them. The look and feel to one person “liking” something compared to another can’t necessarily have a number put on it. The scientific data means little to some folks, or that’s how everything would be judged. But then again, I have been “erroneous” before. 😁 [/QUOTE]
